Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dippin' Dots growing or shrinking?
Dippin' Dots doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2024 and FY2025 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #64 of 146 Other brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a Dippin' Dots franchise?
We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $651K (113% above the typical Other brand's $306K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
What's the SBA loan default rate for Dippin' Dots?
Dippin' Dots only has 3 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Other brands overall see a 2.1% charge-off rate across 1,541 loans.
